Dang, $40 with only 4 playable characters and no playable Johnny Lawrence? That’s a tough sell. Some people thought RCG2 was asking too much with its $40 price and that game is fully voiced with a lengthy story, several side quests, 6 playable characters, music with lyrics, and online co-op with crossplay.
That's a game that is worth the 40 bucks asked. This is one is the classic Game Mill tactics of trying to get the most profits from initial sales and then sell it with 90% off.
@@beatemup If that is the case most people will likely wait until it's on discount. I'm a strong believer in paying only for what i get. A game like this i typically only pay $10-$15 for (maybe $20-$25 if it's got enough extras but never more then $30)
Well, it's probably due of the fact that, this sequel, it is being focused on the Miyagi dojo faction charas ones mainly. As the game does not allow any member of the Cobrai Kai dojo to be played at all, Ikr it's a shame but this is as far as we got with this title for the time being. Do I smell upcoming dlcs in the air?🧐
I was born in 84 and every grown up I knew ALL called me Daniel-san because of the first movie and before I watched the first movie I never knew why lol...
so kinda of a mixed bag, then. Giving Bosses armor all the time is one of the most frustrating mechanics in beat em ups, alongside too many projectile based goons (I hate them too). Yeah, it is pricey for a beat em up. I'll do that, I'll keep it on my wish list and wait for an eventually sale. Thank you for having a dedicated channel to this beloved genre.
Yeah... this game have some cool ideas, but it falls short in a lot of key points. For 10 bucks (like, 20 reais) I can recommend this one, but at the full price??? No way!!!
LOL, a mosquito playing a kazoo like a boss! I'm stealing that!! I am super confused why they are charging $40 for this when almost anything else in the genre is charging significantly less regardless of perceived quality. My guess is they were hoping the IP would catch $40 USD (what it costs here) for early adopters and then they could 50% discount it soon and still get $20 USD since a lot of people buy based on % off rather than actual price.
hahahaha the worst part is enjoying it after a while!! It really grew on me! Game Mill always act like that. They put the price up high to get the nostalgics or the hyped, and try to profit a lot at launch ( I wouldn't doubt this is some investor thing). In a few months you can find this game for 50% off or more. I mean, the first Cobra Kai game, also published by them, was 99 cents six months after launch.
Look at the og price of the previous titles and you will definitely get a clue of it though yourself. Gamemill standard price for its beat'em up games it's quite high, but they are generally both bad and unpolished too imho...🤦🏻♂️
Agreed, it's time for them to cut down their ambitions a bit, if the results are being like that. Overworking a brand or a tie-in game, when is not even up to the overall expectation, such overconfidence is their worst enemy imho.🤦🏻♂️
@@beatemup Unfortunately, it's true. I think only the second part of River City Girls had a similar price at the premiere. And now an example: I don't know if Night Slashers Remake will be good, but its price will be only $10
I was expecting your excellent review Capt. Sav! This game it feels and shouts the early '80s anywhere there, as it is the final shodown between the Miyagi dojo and the Cobra Kai one imho. I personally consider it a slow paced but technical version of TMNT Shredder's Revenge, although the turtles game it is still far better than that on any level regardless imho. Also 40€ for a beat'em up game without even an online co-op feature it is rather a prank, so I'll be waiting for a price drops, at least of 30% as gamemill they will do it in a couple of weeks, since their last installment was a completely disaster though, thanks for the perfect review brother! Now, I am looking forward to the G.I. Joe: revenge of Cobra one!🤙🏻
Great review. Seems my suspicions were confirmed. That lack of any real impact is a real letdown for me. Why developers keep making such an obvious mistake is beyond me. Anyone who's familiar with the genre know how important it is. The developers of SOR4 knew this. On the surface the graphics look great but again the lack of animations like you said makes the game feel unfinished. I'll definitely be waiting for a sale.
I won't say I am disappointed because this is what I expect from Game Mill nowadays. And, being a game from than, you can expect it to be 90% off in a few months. lol
I would say don't get your hopes up with regards to G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra. I tried the demo a few months ago. Combat felt lifeless and the AI was brain-dead. Tried the demo again today. They added an extra character and my opinion hasn't changed one bit.
@@cobrax80 when I think G.I Joe I don't think beat em up, with power rangers that's all I think about and if one game can't afford to suck it's that one.
I heard that all the power rangers will play the same D=. anyways I'll have to see review on it before I try it. GI Joe looked prettying boring to me. I've been spoiled by SOR 4, Fight N Rage games.
@@halcyonways1476 with power rangers I'm seeing different animations and special moves, that might handle the same but not look the same, kinda like tmnt we had stats but control wise they all handled the same, streets of rage was a triumphant return to the genre bringing along the beat em up renaissance, that being said we got more to play and power rangers looks to be the next great game since tmnt, it has to be good especially after the death of Jason David Frank the green/white ranger
Oh wow! I didn't know this existed TFK. I have to say it's really cool to see it. If you didn't share this upload, I would've never known about it until today. Thank you TFK, I learned something new today. 8^) Anthony..
Man, Shreddee's Revenge costs 25 bucks and that one has Konami and an even BIGGER license attached to it. If I'm trying this, it'll be for a discount. Shame Gamemill remains Gamemill, because the sprite artists at Odaclick seem really talented and I want to support them... buuut in the coming months we'll have a new Legend of Zelda and a bunch of other games I want to play, and this game for 40 bucks? Not a priority.
Thanks for the review. I think I'll wait for a sale. I guess arcade mode is story mode without cutscenes. Is that so? Any other difference between these two modes?
Appreciate the review! That's such a steep price for something to feel so un-impactful. I agree with the cutscenes...it's a shame. They look like a NewGrounds animation, which I love, but it looks dated and out of place here. Especially with the great pixel art!
Always a pleasure, my dude! And there's more three reviews landing this week. Yeah, the cutscenes look dated and, honestly, pretty bad. But coming from Game Mill, which treats games as goods in a production line, I am not that surprised! Have a great Sunday, dude!
It’s such a missed opportunity to not go the cobra kai way with this. SO many great hero characters and villains in that series. Limiting only to karate kid with 4 characters was a mistake. Also considering how popular cobra kai has become. But I’m guessing they are saving all that for the sequel, which would make sense
I don't know. They already released two Cobra Kai games. I am don't think they will release another one... well, maybe to celebrate the ending of the series?? Who knows... now I am intrigued.
@reeanimationgaming1034 the first one wasn't bad, but the second... Maaaaan, not good. The first, you can find for really cheap on sales. For less than 5 bucks, I'd say go for it.
Except that fight' n rage, it is completely from another league compared to this title at all. And so G.I. Joe: revenge of Cobra will too for sure imho!🤙🏻
Thats whats stopping me from buying it. $40 is way to high for a side scroller. Did love shredders revenge though. Soon as this go’s on sale im snagging it. Hell the other karate kid game is still $40 on xbox marketplace and that game was buns from what ive heard.
have you played the first kobra kai videogame? It was a 2d beat em up with 3d graphics, the gameplay was fun in my opinion, if you played it, how does this compare?
Awesome game!!! there’s a lot of UA-cam generation gamers and gamer Karens that will talk shit but we already know they aren’t happy with anything and always find something to bitch about.
"OMG someone on the internet didn't like the game I did!!! How dare he??? I will make sure to make a childish comment showing how offended I am by different opinions!!!!" This is how you sound, snowflake!
So it's alright but could be so much better with some work. And it's way, way overpriced as if it thinks it's better than all the other recent beat 'em ups it's jumping on the bandwagon of.
Its not worth anyones time even for $1 imo. I beat the game once on hard. No desire to play again. They simply didn't finish the game, some basic unity input lag issues, lazy enemy and boss designs in terms of AI. Just trying to cash in on the 80's nostalgia beat em ups without knowing anything about beat em up game design.
Seems okay, but definitely way overpriced for what it is. And the cutscenes really do look very bad. The art in them is trash as well. I suppose it's decent for fans, but there's far better alternatives for people looking for a good beat 'm up. Also we all know you picked Kumiko because she shows some sexy leg.
It's a real shame because the pixel art is pretty damn good. I suspect the use of generative ai in the cutscenes that were then painted over a bit, they are THAT bad 😂

The cutscenes' artstyle is flat out terrible, and it clashes badly with the game's marvelous spritework. What the hell were they thinking?
Thinking? Nah... they didnt want any part in that when making these cutscenes! hahahahaha

Haahahahahha that's a fact!!!
I'll wait for them to patch it to get it
How many people can play at a time ? 2 or 4 ?
Four!
$40 might as well get street of rage 4 it’s $25 and that’s a way better game.

Wait, GameMill published this game? Oh boy… that doesn’t sound good.
Not worth the price if it is super short.
